Southwestern Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Southwestern Crockpot Chicken Tacos are so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making them all along! It will cook in your slow cooker all day long, then shred into tender Mexican chicken you can serve up with taco shells, guacamole and shredded cabbage. Put it on your meal plan this week – you’ll thank me later.

I used to think I needed to be so creative and out of the box with food, when I really just love my dinner like grandma used to make.

Mind you, my gran is Bavarian and has neither touched a crockpot nor a taco in her lifetime… But still, you get what I mean.

So there’s no crazy seventeen component coleslaw on my chicken tacos, and there’s also not a million individual spices. Just my homemade taco seasoning, please and thank you.

They turn out fabulous, in case you were wondering 😉

I know I told the world a while ago how I got rid of my crockpot and swore to never buy one again… But then I spotted this white little number on sale and I just couldn’t let it go. My slow cooker had been letting me down with brown, mushy meals.

While I’m still 100% convinced my Dutch oven can do many things better than a crockpot, I’m glad I gave the whole slow cooking appliance thing another chance, because there’s just no way for shredded chicken to turn out as tender as it does like this.

How To Make Crockpot Chicken Tacos:

Even though I don’t like the name of them, this is a real “dump and go” slow cooker recipe:

Add everything for the chicken to the crockpot

Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours

Stuff into taco shells and top with whatever tickles your fancy

Yes, I say “tickles your fancy”. No, I’m not 85 years old, though sometimes I certainly behave as if I was 😉
